Drain table,Brian/Reptoman designed
- Thread starter SMCNARY
- Start date
Awesome! I may have to make this for my future GOC. Send me the specs!
There are no specs,at least I don't have any.The only restriction is the roll is 60 " wide and u can make it as long as u want. I bought enough of the PVC liner to do 2 - 14' long drain tables and it cost about $130.00. I can text u all the pictures of it and the baby raiser if u want. I just didn't think everybody wanted to see so many but if they do I will post more!

Man that is so awsome! I am doing the same drain system with compiseal pan and a one drain output. Thought I had the original thought on that-lol
I am though plumbing the drains together(quick disconnects)(4 cages per- rolling set ups to go outside on nice days) to a main waste line to drain outside, and useing egg crate with screen over it in stead of pvc.
Nice work!!!

Thanks Lisa! I am still working on the Cham room now and am happy but exhausted!!!! I have to go back to work tomorrow so at least I can get some physical rest
Things are starting to take shape though so all the chams should be happy. I have had a Mistking all along but have added a drip system as well now.No I had to buy it by the foot off a 60 " roll, got enough for 2 this size ( 14' x 28" ). It's not furniture quality like yours but I pulled that PVC so tight not a drop stays behind so I am happy with it.
That sounds good!!! I was planing to do a rolling shelf as well but just can't fit as many chams that way. What I have done is suspended everything above the cages so that I can just pick up the cage and take them outside. The only thing still attached to the cages now is the misters and I will suspend them next wknd. You can see the PVC above the cages and everything hangs from those. I'm sure everyone would like to see some pictures of your build,I know I would!!!! Thanks for the nice comment

Thanks, I will post one once it has been completed and primed. Primming to protect wood for a few more years from the moister. The lights sit on top and are connected to a 6-way surge protector(4 basking/2 4ft flouresent) that is connected to a timer. The water is feed from a live line that is on a multi-timer, quick disconnect there also with a ballvalve.
Once they are done, each 4 cage system will be fully automated! Just throw in bugs
Wanna go outside? Just unplug surge protector, quick disconnect waste/water, unlock rolling wheels, and away they go.
The thing that kills me is I had to shorten them to roll under the garage door. So since I did that, I made sure they would also roll under interior doors also(why not). I wanted a shelf unit on top for extra storage
But I'm happy, except it took a week to design...
Oh, my cages are built in though, each one measures 2x2x3.5 ft. Drilled deviders and outside frame boards placed in the right spots to allow propper airflow. The deviders are removable just incase I need a larger cage for something, after all each system is 8ft long. Its how I did it years ago, and its way cheaper then buying 2x2x4 cages.
We should share ideas

I'm doing good man... I finally got some free time and set up Dexter's mid size cage... He is doing really well in it... It is easy to see he is much happier with the added space... The silk worm project kind of took a turn for the worst in the past few days... I'm really not sure what happened but I lost about half of what I had left so now I might be down to like 20 or so worms... I guess you live and you learn... I still want to touch base with you about them and see what you think might have happened but it seems with our schedules its next to impossible haha...

I'm off after 6 pm central time and most wknds so give me a shout!
Really nice work! That's the same idea I used inside Zaphod's enclosure. The drain in the middle causes the liner to stretch down from the sides and no water build up! Awesome job!
